#

I think of the three it's by far the most dependent on your teammates playing to enable it

#

it needs something like that yeah

worn bolt
#

true, lowest damage but highest potential imo

fierce sinew
#

or a targeting change like what they're trying to do for hammer

olive ember
#

I mean

#

i guess so yeah

#

its a bit weird

worn bolt
#

full charged attacks tho still do massive damage, especially to carapace

olive ember
#

they need to buff damage against dregs

#

increase target cap

#

and then go from tehre

#

its a weird thing where its hard CC makes it weird to balance imo cuz it shouldn't horde clear as well as like a trauma or voidstrike

fierce sinew
#

if you were guaranteed to fuck up 5 elites/specials if there are any in range (maybe with extra priority for disablers and then armor) it would be better

olive ember
#

but it also shouldn't just be completely shit when more than 10 enemies show up

fierce sinew
#

but it really should be more than 5

olive ember
#

In all honesty I think 10 targets + it actually does damage to not flak and carapace

worn bolt
olive ember
#

or 15

#

idk

#

id say buff to 10 targets

tired jackal
#

does warp absorption count towards force sword special or no?

olive ember
#

and then 15 if not enough

fierce sinew
spice veldt
#

they fixed it this patch to make warp absorption work on the illisi

worn bolt
#

if you have it out and generate warp then it applies

tired jackal
#

oh nice screw quiettude then

fierce sinew
#

quietude generates more toughness per unit of time than warp absorption anyway

worn bolt
#

if not you can get rid of the hordes then the high prio

#

illi is good at being indiscriminate

fierce sinew
#

until they make essence harvest stack instead of refresh it's close to pointless

#

with quietude as it is

spice veldt
#

smh confusing essence harvest with warp absorption

worn bolt
#

but yeah what I do typically if stuff is in hordes is just ult to knock down trash, then bb the specials still standing

fierce sinew
#

lmao you right

spice veldt
#

yeah illisi is pretty good against mixed hordes as long as there aren't any ogryn enemies in em

fierce sinew
#

can't believe people consider warp absorption at all

spice veldt
#

i never ever thought about it until the illisi came about

#

and then the special didn't work with it until the recent fix

#

warp absorption would be pretty strong in events where you have to move around and there's a constant stream of enemies, but I still prefer the comfiness of quietude

olive ember
#

Essence harvest used to be 50% smh

#

Actually

stuck sinew
#

Warp absorption is kind of a "win more" feat

olive ember
#

They nerfed psyker toughness regen like across the board from CBT to prelaunch

spice veldt
#

yeah I'd be comfortable with bringing warp absorption to lower difficulties

fierce sinew
stuck sinew
#

Yeah it's just the least reliable in times when you actually need tough regen

#

You can't just take cover and recover

#

like the other 2 (assuming you BB behind a wall with essence)

fierce sinew
#

yep

#

the only time it's functioning at a rate to compete with the other two is when you're winning handily and don't need regen at all

#

it's "being invisible but only when nobody is looking" tier defensive mechanic

vagrant frigate
#

lol

high prism
#

hey i'm starting new psyker character , which staff and melee is the best for newbie now ?

spice veldt
#

purgatus, the flamethrower staff, would probably be it, though it's the last staff you unlock

cyan notch
#

well then

fierce sinew
#

you unlock antax early, that's your melee until 30, at which point you can start spending resources to put together a sword

#

the staves you just use in the order you unlock them pretty much immediately, purg is at 15 and you use that until 30

#

again at which point you spend resources on whatever you actually want

spice veldt
#

illisi and deimos force swords being pretty good, though I'm not sure at what level you unlock them at; the Slaughterer blessing is particularly good on them

fierce sinew
#

of the available options when leveling antax + purg function the best at white rarity and it's not even really close

#

I'm assuming this is your first psyker (because you wouldn't be asking otherwise) and you don't have slaughterer for force sword banked already

high prism
#

yeah my first psyke

#

already 30 with other 3 classes

fierce sinew
#

yeah then you just antax only until level 15 pretty much, your staff won't really matter

high prism
#

still lately i've seen lot of psyker wielding gun that good as killing horde and only blow the elite head off

#

new meta for you guy ?

mental rock
#

yeah shredder is very good rn

fierce sinew
#

it's 50% memes and 50% pinning fire +blaze away interacting multiplicatively with warp unleashed

#

on shredder

#

that half is real

olive ember
#

I personally wouldn’t be wasting ammo on a horde tho

fierce sinew
#

that's another thing you probably want to wait to fuck with until you're 30 and have some plasteel and patience for hadron to waste

olive ember
#

Gun psyker imo is the “I’ve fucked around long enough and I’m bored so let’s run gun”

#

It’s good because autopistol is good but

fierce sinew
#

that's the meme half

olive ember
#

I wouldn’t recommend it as like a first timer

#

I mean tbh the main thing you gotta learn is psykers innate shitty states besides stam regen

fierce sinew
#

if you're not properly hashtag blessed you're more than likely trolling

olive ember
#

The biggest problem is people see the illisi and psyker buffs, try to run psyker like the other classes and get shit on because psyker gets deleted in like 3 hits

spice veldt
#

well you can run it like the other classes as long as you avoid getting hit

fierce sinew
#

get hit through infinite dodges

#

they deserve it

spice veldt
#

people don't abuse the infinite dodges enough

olive ember
#

Tbf the dodge distance is halved

spice veldt
#

only 2 meters compared to zealot/vet's 2.5 meters

#

that's not halved

worn bolt
#

can spam ijt anyway lmao[]

olive ember
#

Rly? Feels like half kek

fierce sinew
#

the distance doesn't really matter when you're dark soulsing

olive ember
#

But again new players so they don’t utilize it

#

Or new psykers*

orchid shadow
#

Speaking of plasteel to waste, I'm ready to burn some. I have an okayish Illisi with T3 Unstable and T3 Slaughter. Is it worth going for T4 for those? Or try to get a good autopistol with a T4 Pinning or Blaze away? I fully expect to get none of those. =/

worn bolt
#

not accounting for most psykers just being shit

feral verge
#

this is all i have to show for the plasteel spent

spice veldt
#

t4 slaughterer sure

orchid shadow
spice veldt
#

that's an extra 15% power from t3 to t4

olive ember
#

Psykers used to be the most reliable randoms

feral verge
olive ember
#

Now not so much

feral verge
#

checked melk every day

worn bolt
#

holy shit you are right lmao, you have to arc a fucking staff

olive ember
#

Lmao

#

Stare at the heavens to hit anything slightly far

orchid shadow
#

This is what I'm running right now.

worn bolt
#

then see a random hitmarker as you blow the entire horde to shit

worn bolt
orchid shadow
#

Holy. That's nice. Melk hasn't had anything for my Psyker in two weeks except for a couple of Trauma staves with Surge

ember sentinel
#

finally got around to trying purge staff, what blessings would you guys recommend? Im guessing the ones i got rolled arent great

feral verge
#

warp nexus is best in slot, with warp flurry

#

terrifiyng barrage is worthless/pointless

ember sentinel
#

i figured

#

wasnt sure if purge really took advantage of crit

feral verge
#

it does

ember sentinel
#

but good to know that one of the blessings is good

feral verge
#

crit = 2 burn stacks on an enemy

ember sentinel
#

ah ok

robust relic
#

Question siblings, I know in the past staff secondaries didn't count as ranged kills for milk tasks. Is that the same? All staff secondaries?

fluid tapir
#

fairly certain i've been getting scab/ranged contracts with them

cyan notch
#

they count

vagrant frigate
#

"GET I GET A BRAINBURST"
me: >no 🙂

feral verge
#

get good

graceful aurora
#

What's the best way to get new staffs? Buy from money store and upgrade, or wait for a gold to come to the weekly store?

olive ember
#

Buy from store

#

Weekly is for blessing hunting for the most part

#

Getting an amazing weapon is just a lot of grinding and a lot of rng tho sadly no way around it

graceful aurora
#

I see. Are the blessings single use or do you own a recipe forever once you have the pattern?

fluid tapir
#

own the blessing but only on that weapon

#

other weapons that take the same perk you need to re-get

graceful aurora
#

well that's something. I thought it was general to staffs, but I got blitz 3 for purge now by accdicent.

feral verge
#

blitz?

olive ember
#

It’s shared across account but also only transferable across same weapon family

spice veldt
#

all of our current staffs belong to different families, so they won't share blessings

olive ember
#

^^

#

But hey if you get that meta pinning fire 4 on autopistol

#

Congrats you can use it for all classes

#

🎉

graceful aurora
#

sorry flurry not blitz

#

Also, why is there +expereince on trinkets if you can't share gear among characters? Do the devs not like us?

olive ember
#

Good question lmao

#

Yeah +exp is like instant roll or bin perk

cyan notch
#

cuz fuck you thats why

#

also its now locked ty come again

#

maybe you will enjoy your +15% curio chance and + dockets now

graceful aurora
#

lol

#

This one seems like it's worth a go, it has higher damage than my current gold already

cyan notch
#

that is great

#

damage isnt too important

#

good cloud and 76 burn is all you need

olive ember
graceful aurora
#

What's good cloud?

olive ember
#

76

#

Is the breakpoint iirc

cyan notch
#

thats burn

feral verge
#

youre thinking of burn

cyan notch
#

cloud you want as high as possible

olive ember
#

🤔

#

I am dumb

#

Eh don’t use purge staff

feral verge
#

can we ban this guy

olive ember
#

That’s my excuse

graceful aurora
#

oh, barrage 2 :/ whelp

vagrant frigate
graceful aurora
#

Huh, whelp

north cradle
#

Oof

olive ember
#

If you aren’t playing like a spastic are you truly playing psyker

feral verge
#

lassic vet

olive ember
#

Oh… dear…

#

I mean… replace run n gun with nexus and you’ll have best staff before the flurry fix XD

worn bolt
# vagrant frigate

this is why I turn voice chat off lmao, I just blast music. also good taste

vagrant frigate
#

didnt get it in the clip but i asked why he was gatekeeping me out of a dead game

#

and he lost his shit

olive ember
#

Oh wait

#

There was

vagrant frigate
#

doesnt want my "kind" of playear in the game OMEGALULright

olive ember
#

Audio

feral verge
#

i dont want his kind of player in the game

wheat olive
#

This sword was basically made to fight Ogryns... However I don't use it for that, I spent most of my time with the Illsi clearing trash mobs, Ragers and Mutants. Of both the perks, I'd guess the Unyielding damage bonus is the one to replace, right?

olive ember
#

Lmao I just thought you were referring to how you played like you were having a seizure

vagrant frigate
#

no

#

its him yelling

forest coral
#

I had a 5 wound laspistol zealot backseat the entire 20 minutes of a damnation run once

graceful aurora
# vagrant frigate lol

I have only had two people use voice chat. One was RPing and super helpful in Dec. The second one was last night, they just had an open mic on speakers and gave me ear-heresy.

forest coral
#

He would lose his mind if u didn’t pick up the ammo he wanted u to pick up

worn ravine
#

just picked up a new sword from melk, the deflector 3 one is better right?

feral verge
worn ravine
#

4*

feral verge
#

and illisi does shit carapace dmg anyway, so a bonus aint gonna help it

feral verge
#

yee that was a zealot

vagrant frigate
#

oh nvm

#

theyre usually vets

nimble burrow
olive ember
#

SMH

vagrant frigate
#

my bad

worn bolt
#

zealots can have the same players as vets, they tend to attract the same crowd

vagrant frigate
#

damage btw OMEGALULCHAIR

feral verge
#

my dad is john fatshark and hes going to ban you for your mistake

graceful aurora
olive ember
worn bolt
#

but yeah, @vagrant frigate It's always funny when people forget this is a fuckin game and its meant for fun. its not a dick so don't take it so hard

wheat olive
vagrant frigate
wheat olive
#

Deflector + your push ability makes you feel like a Jedi, more than most star wars games do lol

ember hornet
#

Implying I'm bad enough to not use BB smh

vagrant frigate
#

if i wanted to use brainburst i wouldnt play gun psyker

olive ember
#

Actually I just realized

vagrant frigate
#

if im out of ammo i am melee psyker

worn ravine
#

worth ripping deflector off and pairing it with unstable power on the higher dmg sword?

vagrant frigate
#

im not bbing anything

olive ember
#

Why is the zealot complaining about now BB

#

He legit has

#

Armor pen

vagrant frigate
#

bro i wiped everything

#

idk what he wanted me to bb anyways

worn bolt
#

gun psyker puts in work without fuckin bb

#

its not required to do well

#

only reason I do is to keep stacks up

olive ember
#

I just don’t respond typically

worn bolt
#

extra damage with warp battery, if I Cant then o well

vagrant frigate
#

the most fun thing is to respond

#

i got kinda pissed that time but usually i just mess with them more

graceful aurora
#

Whelp, I think it's better than what I had before.

vagrant frigate
#

cuz im tryna watch yt and chill

spice veldt
#

i've had a player tell me to BB gunners for whatever reason even when I was melee-locking shooters

vagrant frigate
#

while going schizo mode

olive ember
#

I mean

feral verge
#

terrifying barrage is useless on anything

cyan notch
worn bolt
#

these people not joining my high intensity hunting grounds Sitgryn

olive ember
#

Idk at one point the whole thing was psyker BB bad don’t use BB EVER

#

Idk when the fuck it 180’ed to BB the gunner wtf are you doing

cyan notch
#

only noobs said that

#

oh no!!! bb is bad at damnation

olive ember
#

Nah that was the general sentiment atleast

#

Back in December

cyan notch
#

yea cuz everyone was a noob

#

(except me)

olive ember
#

Yes clearly

#

And yeah it was def an extreme

#

I remember saying there were genuine use cases and people hard disagreed with me

#

So clearly I was the pro player this whole time

forest coral
cyan notch
#

unironically yes

forest coral
#

Always have been derpy

cyan notch
#

it takes like 2 braincells to realise the utility and strength of it

#

just because it doesnt 1 shot literally anything doesnt mean its bad

olive ember
#

But yeah obviously the don’t use BB ever was an extreme but i find it funny how the sentiment just 180’ed to “holy shit why aren’t you BB’ing gunners immediately”

ember sentinel
#

i have never once thought in my life it was bad

forest coral
#

Dumbasses were complaining it can’t one shot ragers therefore bad

graceful aurora
ember sentinel
#

even if you dont take warp battery the damage is still fine on 4 warp charges

olive ember
#

I mean hey I want it to one shot hounds and bursters without jumping through 6 warp charges + warp unleashed hoops

#

But

#

Yeah

ember sentinel
#

why hounds got so much HP

spice veldt
#

since they're meant to be dealt with in melee

#

they take 3x melee damage

ember sentinel
#

it feels so disproportionate to the enemy

olive ember
#

If only their jank as hitboxes made it easier to deal in melee

#

Not even hitboxes their movement as well

spice veldt
#

I can reliably hit them out of the air with melee

clear heath
#

you'd kill then too easily if they didn't have so much hp

ember sentinel
#

yeah when my push into melee attack works they die

forest coral
#

Like I never understood the complainers about bb not realising that simply by existing a psyker, you were already anti specials, anti crusher and anti bullshit gunner/ snipers

olive ember
#

Like I spray em with auto pistol and they fucking rocket past me

spice veldt
#

pushing them is very unreliable

feral verge
#

oh nvm i misread

graceful aurora
#

fuck, I was certain I killed every hound in the hab twice last night. I did nothing but taze 5 hounds at a time with my surge staff

spice veldt
#

attacking them is more reliable because the hitboxes linger

ember sentinel
#

also yeah usually bursters go down in one unless i have like 0 warp charges

olive ember
#

It takes like

#

3 charges to kill a poxhound

clear heath
olive ember
#

And you can only stun 5 of em at a time

vagrant frigate
#

they have 300 hp

graceful aurora
#

oh no, killing is for others, I just freeze them

forest coral
lunar hollow
#

run purg and stare down the hounds for half an hour before it dies

olive ember
#

You aren’t full charging mind you

forest coral
#

Since u just turn them into free targets

spice veldt
#

BB was fine before the damage buff and WU buff

vagrant frigate
#

use shredder for dogs

olive ember
#

To stunlock that many pox pups you are like half charging

vagrant frigate
#

ill see if i have clip of me shredding dogs

spice veldt
#

even as just an anti-bulwark tool

graceful aurora
olive ember
#

The main problem is that people were comparing it to every other class

#

But it’s a utility tool

spice veldt
#

people comparing BB to guns

clear heath
#

if by fine you mean we all had more than 0 uses for it, sure
but it was clearly weaker than it should've been

olive ember
#

I mean it does fucking suck when I need 2 BB to kill a hound and there’s like 3 hounds

spice veldt
#

i mean we still have our ranged and melee weapons for those purposes

#

it's an aim-assist weapon that pierces armour and shields

#

what more do you want from it?

olive ember
#

For it to not take literal years to kill one target I guess

graceful aurora
#

at Malice it one shots most things

olive ember
#

You have to remember a mutant was like

#

4 BB

#

Or was it 5

clear heath
#

i think just 4?

spice veldt
#

oh no mutants which take 3x melee damage and are staggered after the end of their charge?

clear heath
#

bulwarks being 3 was annoying

olive ember
#

Psykers weren’t known for their melee ngl

#

We were using antax back then

#

🤔

spice veldt
#

they weren't known for it, but it's not like melee is terrible for them

olive ember
#

Actually I take it back

#

Fucking antax is broke lmao

#

But

spice veldt
#

you could three-shot mutants with obscurus heavy-headshots or two-shot them with a +maniac bodyshot special force sword with WU

graceful aurora
ember sentinel
#

is antax that good on psyker? I thought it was only insane on zealot

vagrant frigate
#

its good on everything

forest coral
#

It’s decent on psyker because u can infinitely push attack if u wanted to

olive ember
#

It just didn’t truly feel good, cuz it would take you forever to kill like one crusher etc etc

forest coral
#

You had the stamina regen to play hyper safe

spice veldt
#

melees also take long to kill crushers

forest coral
#

And have all the benefits of warp stacks and antax shittery

clear heath
#

it didn't really justify how long and expensive it was to use it

ember sentinel
#

oh true i didnt think about antax damage plus warp charges

spice veldt
#

it's almost like it wasn't meant to be used all the time

#

hmmmm

#

HMMM

olive ember
#

I mean

clear heath
#

i mean if you had made it free i still wouldn't use it all the time back then

olive ember
#

That’s cuz they listened to the whiners in the CBT

#

Psyker BB used to one shot maulers

spice veldt
#

yes, because the peril cost wasn't the issue about brain burst

olive ember
#

So yeah

forest coral
#

Knife on psyker was also kinda nuts

spice veldt
#

since you can cast from 97% anyways

forest coral
#

When u paired it with purg

#

You could infinitely push chop

spice veldt
#

its clunkiness is a part of it

olive ember
#

Eh idk why we are getting into BB debate but

forest coral
#

Just demolished everything except crushers and maulers

clear heath
#

it had things holding it back that didn't need to be there because it wasn't that strong to begin with
that's what i mean by weaker than it should be

olive ember
#

Psyker BB was only good for gunners snipers and bombers at that point

#

Flamers took 2

spice veldt
#

even as just an anti-bulwark tool, it's extremely powerful

olive ember
#

Hounds and bursters took 2

vagrant frigate
#

shredder is anti bulwark

forest coral
#

Anti bulwarks and carapace

vagrant frigate
#

kek

north solstice
#

was this worth my time investing or should i look for another staff?

olive ember
#

And so on so forth

vagrant frigate
#

shredder is anti crusher

clear heath
#

i mean i run surge so anti bulwark is already covered anyways

forest coral
ember sentinel
#

you want higher burn

vagrant frigate
feral verge
olive ember
#

Shredder sucks against crusher unless you zealot wym

vagrant frigate
#

no it doesnt

feral verge
#

you want crit rate

north solstice
spice veldt
#

that's a shame that role is covered by your ranged then

feral verge
forest coral
#

Flayer doesn’t really count if that’s what being factored in tho

north solstice
#

what would i look for?

vagrant frigate
#

pinning fire buffs the damage of brainburst, so when your lvl 25 feat of brainburst on hit procs it does 4700 dmg if you pop ult beforehand

spice veldt
#

i mean it's a good thing that you have a weapon that supersedes a weapon that's inferior for that particular purpose, no?

vagrant frigate
#

ult then 1shot crushers

spice veldt
#

of course ranged/melee weapons would be better than a grenade-slot weapon for something

forest coral
#

I see where ur coming from

#

It’s like what I do with shotguns lmao

cyan notch
#

nerf that shit

olive ember
# north solstice horrific, excuse me while i cry

The problem with crit is that let’s say your weapon does 100 damage and when you crit it does 10% extra, so 110 total… +10% crit damage is literally 10% of the 10% so you now do 111 damage total

forest coral
#

Except no respite in this case

vagrant frigate
clear heath
#

yes that's a good thing for the surge staff that it can do that
but that does mean BB wasn't that useful for the build

cyan notch
#

they should nuke shredder

north solstice
olive ember
#

Fatshark

spice veldt
#

that's a shame that your selection of ranged/melee weapons altered the viability of BB

olive ember
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vagrant frigate
north solstice
#

lol

forest coral
#

I don’t wanna rain on parades but Shredder needs some adjustment

#

It’s like, modifier god at the moment

olive ember
#

No it’s universally agreed

forest coral
olive ember
#

It’s not shredder tho

#

It’s pinning fire

cyan notch
#

i absolutely want to rain on all parades

olive ember
#

Nerf that fucking blessing

forest coral
#

Pinning fire and blaze away together

olive ember
#

Gotta buff shredder tho

forest coral
#

Wowee

olive ember
#

It’s like

ember sentinel
#

i havent used auto pistol yet but sometimes i wonder if i should be lol

olive ember
#

The blessing system is a disaster

forest coral
#

You ever played with Darcy on autopistol

olive ember
#

The two weapons that come to mind are hsword and shredder

clear heath
olive ember
#

Both are fucking complete trash when they are grey

forest coral
#

Man’s doing 600k damage+ if u let them

vagrant frigate
olive ember
#

But slap some meta blessings on em and suddenly they melt

spice veldt
#

very fun to hold down LMB and have no other mechanical engagement beyond that

forest coral
# vagrant frigate me

Except they do it on a vet, they’re both invincible to range at the same time and still doing more damage than max warp stacks

clear heath
#

listen i played psyker for a really long time. I was not arguing that psyker was weak
i'm arguing that bb was in fact weaker than it should be

#

that is all

spice veldt
#

I know'

vagrant frigate
spice veldt
#

I'm arguing that BB should be weaker

olive ember
#

We’ve all played psyker for a long time

spice veldt
#

if you haven't been listening at all

forest coral
#

Ye

olive ember
#

Except some people

spice veldt
#

I've never talked about anything else but BB in my sentences

vagrant frigate
#

you are insane if you think shredder + psyker is better than shredder + vet

olive ember
#

Some people came in a few months ago and then try to argue with me

#

THE SUPERIOR PSYKER

clear heath
#

i think it was fine pre-warp unleashed buff

olive ember
#

SMH smh

spice veldt
#

yes

vagrant frigate
#

no vet is insanely op with shredder

forest coral
#

Nah no one would think that lmao

vagrant frigate
#

psyker is just more fun

spice veldt
#

well not pre-warp unleashed

feral verge
#

Vet is braindead

forest coral
#

Psyker is more fun

spice veldt
#

I think it was fine before the damage buff to BB

olive ember
#

Psyker is more versatile it’s got the CC shout and anti armor in BB

forest coral
#

A lot more dimensions to the gameplay

vagrant frigate
#

@forest coral gun psyker

clear heath
feral verge
#

I seent it

olive ember
#

I fucking cry inside when my autopistol vet runs into like 4 crushers and 2 bulwarks

forest coral
spice veldt
#

no shit your ranged/melee weapons will alter the function of your grenade in your build

vagrant frigate
#

ill find the clip of me killiung like 3 crushers instantly

spice veldt
#

and BB is still useful in that case

clear heath
#

The thing is it rendered it too pointless

#

i still used it sometimes but

spice veldt
#

and BB was still useful for catching enemies that were running around

forest coral
#

I love this things normal fire but the special fire is just

spice veldt
#

bombers and trappers in particular

forest coral
#

Psyker ult in a shotgun cone

did they nerf kinetic barrage cast rate??

feral verge
#

Don't have it yet so my shotty feels meh

cyan notch
#

i thought they fixed the wallbang lol

forest coral
#

Yeah, it literally lets me one tap ragers if ANYTHING staggers them

forest coral
#

This was right after patch

feral verge
clear heath
#

it makes the kit feel so empty when you're just using surge for most ranged things
It's a lot more fun using surge for certain groups of shooters and BB for other enemies like bulwarks
rather than surge for gunners, surge for bulwarks, surge for crushers, etc

#

i think 2 bb for bulwarks is a pretty healthy breakpoint

dawn crypt
# feral verge No

why does it feel like my BB cast time is barely enhanced anymore when i pop my ability

cyan notch
#

wallhack + wallbang + godmode + constant healing

spice veldt
#

I mean, that's just a consequence of the ranged weapon, not BB itself

cyan notch
#

vets actually playing with legal cheats

spice veldt
#

and surge still has range issues

#

and of course the ranged weapon should supersede the grenade slot weapon?

graceful aurora
spice veldt
#

once again, I feel like people are treating BB as if it's supposed to stand on the same level as your melee and ranged weapons

nimble burrow
#

i dont really understand what you're arguing for or against and to whom

#

i use bb when i see a crusher, or a sniper, or a bomber

clear heath
#

I feel like it being mixed into gameplay more is just more enjoyable

spice veldt
#

since our viewpoints won't meet together, I'll just say that BB should be reverted before the WU change and damage buff

clear heath
#

i liked it ever since it 2 shot bulwarks

spice veldt
#

still good for other staffs

#

shame that staffs other than surge exist

vagrant frigate
feral verge
#

I only use staff special. Melee, staff lmb/rmb and BB are crutches for bad players with bad game sense

#

I also run no feats, cuz that's a crutch for bad gameplay too

forest coral
#

He explode

cyan notch
#

nerf warp unleashed to only affect warp stuff no muggle weapons allowed

clear heath
#

I mean i just want more dynamic gameplay
if bb can function as a 3rd weapon while still letting your other slots be useful, i don't see why we need to shackle ourselves to keeping it at the level of a typical video game grenade slot

#

it doesn't really render your ranged weapon obsolete at the moment anyways

wanton sandal
#

emperor damn it man, I finally get my damnation dreyko for my penance and my internet cuts out near the arena

spice veldt
#

and my point was that it was still useful for catching bombers from afar, targeting trappers inside a horde, etc.

clear heath
#

it was, and that was lame

spice veldt
#

doesn't take away from the fact that you were still using it

cyan notch
#

theyd have to buff the other grenade slots for other classes then probably

vagrant frigate
#

(they kicked me from the game before the boss fight)

#

@feral verge @forest coral @olive ember crusher go boop

spice veldt
#

I'm fine with the grenade slot weapon being stronger for psyker

clear heath
#

"useful" and "weaker than it should be" actually aren't mutually exclusive. i actually don't disagree that it had some use

#

so we actually agree on that part

spice veldt
#

I don't care about discrepancies between design between different classes

vagrant frigate
#

turn up volume

forest coral
#

Why they kick u

clear heath
#

something can perform a useful role and still be gimped for no reason

spice veldt
#

I straight up disagree that it's "weaker than it should be"

vagrant frigate
#

racist or smth idk

feral verge
#

Why they kick lol

olive ember
#

Kinetic Flayer proc

#

makes sense i guess

vagrant frigate
#

stacks with pinning

#

or slaughterer

#

very balanced

clear heath
#

it just wasn't fun imo
I want it to be strong enough that i have to carefully choose between my options, rather than only the times where it's extremely obvious where only it would work

spice veldt
#

if we're discussing the inconsistencies within the class in regards to warp charges and whatnot, then I would agree that BB should be altered to be more of an often-used weapon
but it is my strong opinion that it was extremely useful even before the damage buffs and warp unleashed changes

#

it's never going to be fun

#

it's an aim assist weapon

#

wow I get to hold LMB and have no mechanical engagement with it

#

that's never going to be fun

clear heath
#

i find it fun to alternate between surge and bb
or whatever staff and BB really

#

except maybe void i guess. i don't really use that weapon

vagrant frigate
spice veldt
#

it is indeed fun to pick the right tool for the right situation

#

but changing the properties of BB isn't going to add any new dimensionality without adding some new feature

vagrant frigate
#

its meme 🙃

spice veldt
#

and I maintain that it was still often used before the damage/WU buffs

#

I straight up do think that you just forget about the times where you used BB

#

since it's not like BB is the most engaging weapon ever

clear heath
#

i mean on surge it's actually sometimes an important decision between damage or stunning 5 targets
before it was just, idk who cares it doesn't matter cause it won't hurt. Just using bb for stuff where surge couldn't actually reach

spice veldt
#

ehhhhhhhhh

#

i mean if you value stuns more than damage

#

that's on you

#

or surgical targeting

clear heath
#

sometimes using surge twice would kill more gunners than using BB on every individual gunner

#

i have to actually plan around that

#

or think about wherher the enemies have been hit already

#

maybe they're low and i should just surge
maybe i should just bb the bulwark twice and get it out of the way instead

spice veldt
#

the lower damage also gave you an incentive to synergize with other weapons

#

"instead of having to BB this bulwark three times, I could BB -> obscurus light combo -> obscurus heavy/light special to kill the bulwark"

#

now it's just BB the bulwark two times

#

straight up neglecting the stun of BB

olive ember
#

Eh the stun in CBT was cooler

#

It staggered then on start of cast all the way through

#

They changed it so it doesn’t do that anymore

spice veldt
#

you can still stun certain enemies with RMB -> LMB immediately

olive ember
#

That’s why the fucking hold rmb lmb staggers yeah

#

It’s a hold over from the CBT

spice veldt
#

still exists

olive ember
#

Back when lmb also did it

clear heath
#

Yeah the fact that we don't need bulwark combos anymore is kinda a loss

spice veldt
#

BB also staggering gunners midway or with the RMB->LMB

#

being able to run and sprint-slide with BB while casting

clear heath
#

actually you know what bb nerf i would be pretty cool with
making it so BB on bulwarks only kills in 2 with warp unleashed and high peril
so you can still do it but not all of the time

#

if they get close and you're not at high peril then the combo would make sense

spice veldt
#

encourage the use of other weapons to make up for the BB's lack of damage

#

take advantage of its stagger

#

or teammates taking advantage of the stagger

#

e.g., when you hit a bulwark

clear heath
#

teammates do take advantage of the stagger as it is

spice veldt
#

straight up on-demand staggers against bulwark is strong

cyan notch
#

i think its faster to bb then poke with deimos

spice veldt
#

yeah I usually BB -> illisi special if I can

#

especially when you don't have the luxury of dealing with bulwarks with a mixed horde unless you bring a specific ranged weapon (plasmagun, bolter) or melee (idk)

clear heath
#

or press f (if the game's jank actually lets it work)

spice veldt
#

maybe with 4 warp charges or more, though I'm not often at max charges to test it

clear heath
#

god i swear psyker f push is the second buggiest thing in the game

spice veldt
#

yeah that shit not working every time

clear heath
#

sometimes i use it and it pushes stuff towards me

spice veldt
#

esp when I'm getting lit up by shooters and really need it to work

#

dafuq

cyan notch
#

bb doesnt stagger bulwarks sometimes

spice veldt
#

usually when their shield gets hit

#

or they're being staggered by the reaper behind them

cyan notch
#

im pretty sure when enemies aggro from far away and are doing their pathing to their target they just shrug off all stagger

spice veldt
#

that too it seems

#

especially noticeable with bursters

#

that's the one enemy that I recall with that happening

cyan notch
#

ive seen surge do absolutely nothing to them many times

#

point blank ragers just ignore it and run through u to get to your teammate

clear heath
spice veldt
#

i do

nimble burrow
#

stagger/stun is really weird in general

cyan notch
#

or when ragers are running to your teammates and u try to left click purg them it does nothing until they stop in front of their target then it magically starts staggering them again

clear heath
#

i hate these creatures

#

they make no sense

spice veldt
#

damn actually jailed

feral verge
#

That's why I love Deimos hunting them

#

It's revenge

spice veldt
#

a +maniac illisi heavy-special headshot -> some other melee attack is enough to two-shot them

supple skiff
#

going into hi int damnation with all psyker squad, wish us luck lol

spice veldt
#

or with max slaughterer stacks, just one-shot them with a heavy-special headshot

#

no, i refuse to wish you luck

worn bolt
#

I wish you luck

#

and an egg in these trying times

ornate hamlet
#

ayo we talked bb?

#

ngl i think its a pretty boring single-purpose attack

cyan notch
#

i think hi int is pretty chill now after experiencing hi int shock troops

worn bolt
#

its fun with a good team

spice veldt
#

i like killing specialists

worn bolt
#

I like bacon

spice veldt
#

one-shotting flamers

ornate hamlet
#

one thing i could think it being would be the equivalent of a force choke or force stasis

spice veldt
#

not much a fan of bacon

ornate hamlet
#

you stop an enemy from moving and attacking to set up an attack for someone else

worn bolt
#

thats fine i'm nota fan either, I'm a chicken

ornate hamlet
#

imagine even

#

a feat that changes the combat ability into a mass freeze that increases peril

spice veldt
#

how am I to save myself when I activate perils of the warp 😔

ornate hamlet
spice veldt
#

i'm not sure how a mass freeze would work I suppose

#

mass slow/freeze

ornate hamlet
#

me when i switch weapon to attack after bb and accidentally fire the staff

#

warp take me

#

i think it could be something similar to the flashbang from zealot

#

except bloody instant

feral verge
#

I hate it when you're on BB and try to swap to staff or melee

#

And your input gets eaten

ornate hamlet
#

same

#

jesus that tilts me so much

#

i have a horde in front of me and keep starting bb over and over like my psyker has warp-induced brain damage

spice veldt
#

muscle memory of swap to melee -> LMB/RMB and that just keeps casting BB over and over again

worn bolt
#

I swapped my melee key to tilde

ornate hamlet
#

another possibility would be to turn psykinetic freeze into a hold ability that can freeze a single enemy for a prolonged time at the cost of the skills aoe

feral verge
#

Idk if it's like this anymore, but I remember during the beta the swap to BB would get eaten sometimes.

#

It made me rebind bb to mouse scroll

ornate hamlet
#

so you tap the skill and freeze hordes, or hold it for a bit kinda like bb and stun a reaper

feral verge
#

Instead of g

#

I haven't changed it since

clear heath
#

i think if you're changing the combat ability that much, at that point they'd just make it a new subclass

spice veldt
#

i'd have to splay my fingers out to comfortable access tilde

#

short ass ring finger

cyan notch
#

i think theres freeze effects in the code already

#

i remember seeing it somewhere

ornate hamlet
#

the problem with a new subclass is that they have to try to make new feats for it while the current ones dont even have good balance

clear heath
#

i bet it's buggy as hell

#

no way they do anything that involves manipulating enemy movement and it isn't a buggy mess

#

bet it just doesn't work sometimes

ornate hamlet
#

any psyker picking quicken or the funny fire is basically shafting their ability to save the team from crushers and elites and removing up to 24% damage from the brain burst and every other attack

#

cerebral lacerations is basically a boss feat and many matches players dont even find bosses or have people much better equipped to fight one

#

mind in motion shares its space with nigh-infinite blocking and ranged toughness dr

clear heath
#

I don't think our last column is that horribly designed

#

but there's definitely a lot of issues with those other feats yeah

#

mind in motion lol

cyan notch
#

funny fire is good

ornate hamlet
#

god forbid if they made a new subclass and went "all the feats have to be different"

spice veldt
#

noooo quietude :((

clear heath
#

vermintide 2 has a lot of subclasses
and those feats were terribly balanced too so you're not wrong

ornate hamlet
#

alternatively they could increase the amount of feats per level

#

3 is a bit of an arbitrary number

#

could even make each level tackle a specific part of the class

#

5, for example, is always toughness and 30 is always the ult

#

this could apply to the rest

cyan notch
#

they do do that im pretty sure

ornate hamlet
#

sometimes

cyan notch
#

there is a theme

#

idk if increasing the feats per level does anything

#

itd be an even bigger nightmare to balance

ornate hamlet
#

vets 10 is long range damage, faster reload or grenade refund

clear heath
#

more feats per level would just be more shit they can't be bothered to balance

#

mind in motion added to every column

ornate hamlet
#

yeah, it all kinda hangs itself on fatshark being able to balance the game

#

which if vt2 is any proof...

snow coral
#

finally got an illi that I was happy to upgrade. rerolled block efficiency and will eventually rebless shred...

#

I'll have to see how bad the warp resistance is 🤣

ornate hamlet
#

real

#

man got the one

feral verge
snow coral
#

oh, I thought higher was better on that?

#

I've only recently started doing 5's on the reg and looking at gear

feral verge
#

Warp unleashed + unstable power boost smg at high peril

snow coral
#

I thought we wanted everything as close to 80 as possible

feral verge
#

Low warp resist lets you reach higher peril quickly

snow coral
#

ah, gotcha, that makes sense

feral verge
#

Then there's quietitude, which you should also be running

#

You can do this

orchid shadow
#

Lol, it never gets old. 😛

feral verge
#

To instantly reach high peril

#

That's what 41% peril resist looks like

#

It's nonironically amazing

ornate hamlet
#

with the way peril works it also gives the player little benefit to having warp resist on the sword

potent echo
#

Yea low peril resist for FS actually desired

snow coral
#

that makes sense, I need to relook at my feats

ornate hamlet
#

if youre just below critical peril, you can use bb and fs specials

feral verge
#

I live at high peril now

#

I try to never go below 60%

snow coral
#

so if I run quietitude and unleashed does a standard setup look like 3 1 1 3 2 2? or am I way off?

feral verge
#

I try to be 80% or higher

ornate hamlet
#

so an attack that gives you idfk 30% peril can be used at 96% peril because you started the input at 96% peril

snow coral
#

Yeah I try and stay below 50 🤣 I am trying to work on managing it better for the perks

feral verge
#

You'll learn

ornate hamlet
#

and also its a good thing because players shouldnt get "oops, your peril has overflown by 1%, explode now"

feral verge
#

Replace shred with unstable power on that sword

snow coral
#

I can hold my own in 4s, but I tend to be the anchor in 5s because I can't take a hit. but i love psyker so I want to play it better

feral verge
#

Unstable power t4 will grant you 20% more power at 80% peril

snow coral
feral verge
#

It stacks 4x

ornate hamlet
#

dodge the hits loregryn

snow coral
ornate hamlet
#

rebind dodge away from jump loregryn

snow coral
#

that would make sense... lol

#

hrm

#

what do you bind it too? or rebind jump off of space maybe...

feral verge
#

I have alt for jump, space for dodge

snow coral
#

actually jump on x makes sense...

#

yeah alt would work too

#

damn I guess I should spend more time in here, lol

austere estuary
#

I use jump on alt

#

Life is better that way

ornate hamlet
#

i have it bound to spacebar along with dodge, thats why i say its a bad idea uwugryn

snow coral
#

yeah, mine are both on space

#

but pulling jump off makes a lot of sense

ornate hamlet
#

i dislike the game making you jump if you mash space

austere estuary
#

Accidental jumps when dodging is horrible

snow coral
#

yeah that's what fucks me up most of the time

austere estuary
#

Also nice to be able to just press space then ctrl from neutral to do a big back slide

#

Especially for poxbursters

snow coral
#

I have crouch bound to a side button on my mouse, works really well

#

that and the weapon specials are there

#

alright well let's try this new illi out and the new key bindings. Probably going to forget how to climb in game 🤣

feral verge
#

Mouse 4 wep special, mouse 5 tagging

snow coral
#

middle mouse to tag for me

unreal tapir
#

how is psyker after the new peril changes? I heard before that it was pretty lacking on high difficulty

feral verge
#

Huh

#

New psyker is amazing lol

#

Best its ever been

unreal tapir
#

thats good

feral verge
#

I only play damnation

snow coral
#

yeah it does feel really good now, even with me still learning the finer points of play

feral verge
#

Psykers are eating very good right now

snow coral
#

so ragers always fuck me in damnation, what's the trick? I can never seem to get away and I melt to them.

#

I guess if I'm that close to them I already fucked up?

feral verge
#

And use force sword special on them

#

It stuns them

#

They freeze in place when you use it

snow coral
#

i feel like i do that to one but then the other two still hit me in the animation

naive junco
#

F

unreal tapir
#

i might finally make a psyker after new changes. everywhere i looked previously was just people bitching that psyker was underwhelming past malice

naive junco
#

unless you using illisi then just 2 back slides to charge and H1

nimble burrow
#

once i learned all the special spawns on each map i got a lot more confident with psyker

spice veldt
#

it's pretty rough to use the deimos/obscurus special on ragers

#

at least on deimos, you can just use the normal attacks

#

on illisi, the special staggers them and you should be able to chain light-specials repeatedly on them without getting hit

feral verge
#

I only use light special with Deimos on ragers

#

Because the animation doesn't get stuck for as long

#

If you spam lmb during/after

#

It's pretty quick

#

But you have to be careful when you do it

#

Cuz you're still stuck for .3 seconds or whatever

spice veldt
#

illisi is pretty brainless for ragers since you only need to spam the special, so I like it for that

naive junco
#

l1/h2 while back dodging on deimos

spice veldt
#

something to keep in mind is that rager combos ignore your dodge state and won't have their tracking broken by dodge, so you'll need to really skirt outside of their attack hitbox

nimble burrow
#

got the rending uncanny strike 4 on illisi, thanks melk

#

dudes hookin me up this week, gave me slaughter 4 the other day too

feral verge
#

Rip

#

Uncanny not that good

#

You want slaughterer and unstable power on that bad boy

unreal tapir
#

does new psyker have decent carry potential like vet? I want to try it but its hard to give up that free 1 many army capability with vet because i queue a lot of pub higher difficulty so im not very reliant on the team more just the class being broken. Psyker interests me with how it works but i would be miserable playing pubs if i didnt have the potential to carry my teammates and continuously get loss screens or be forced to lfg

naive junco
#

its good for crushers atleast

#

special in osb or deimos gives 5 stacks before the pop

feral verge
robust relic
#

So one of my loadouts whenever I click to it or off it my game crashes...anyone had that? any resolution?

nimble burrow
#

yeah i messed around with it in the test room, seems fake for anything you'd want to rend

spice veldt
nimble burrow
spice veldt
#

Psyker also has a much shorter stamina regeneration delay of 0.5 seconds compared to 1.25 seconds of Veteran

nimble burrow
#

ya know, i noticed that and thought it was a bug

spice veldt
#

beyond our low max stamina that can be patched up by a stamina curio or the Kinetic Deflection feat, we have very little downtime in safety

#

we're a bit squishier if you just look at our base HP and toughness, but I do think we have some pretty good toughness regen feats to avoid getting peeled by ranged, and you should be safe in melee as long as you're pushing/dodging properly

halcyon root
#

Am I the only one using the deimos force sword? This thing completely replaces the Obscurus

robust relic
#

learn to hide behind cover, it matters a lot, and learn the "theres a guy behind you" sound, really important for any player but especially for psyker

hollow current
#

Lots of us use it to dunk on mutants.

halcyon root
#

I dunk everything with it - its nuts

spice veldt
#

or abuse the force sword's infinite dodges and completely forgo cover

feral verge
#

We love deimos here

#

I use Deimos

halcyon root
#

Chad Deimos enjoyers

feral verge
#

Peep this

halcyon root
#

The other force sword is literally the power sword so I care less.

robust relic
#

bit phallic, the Deimos, but decent enough...I dont like the downward strike pattern

halcyon root
#

deimos is a dragon dildo

feral verge
#

As this video demonstrates

#

Made by @near wyvern

#

It's my favorite thing in this game. I love hunting muties

hollow current
#

most peeps passed over it and fawned over the Illi which in itself is nuts.

#

That mutant killing poke tho

olive ember
#

fuck the deimos

#

i hate the deimos

cyan notch
#

illisi can nuke muties too

halcyon root
#

infinite dodge and it obliterates anything you charge heavy

feral verge
cyan notch
#

pretty decently actually

unreal tapir
#

i wish they would balance the game a bit better and tune up the other classes or tune down vet. im going to force myself to try psyker because i really like how the staves look but i figure ill be miserable for the first 40+ hours because its higher skill ceiling than pick bolter and instantly kill all specials within a 5 mile radius. on the bright side psyker definitely looks a lot more interesting gameplay wise than vet which will be fresh and probably get me back into the game for another long grind period. anything I should know about psyker mechanics before i suffer in pubs on a level 1?

halcyon root
#

also infinite AoE stagger?

#

this thing is broken af

olive ember
#

can't tell if this is a copypasta or not

feral verge
olive ember
#

my brain is mush

#

programming assignment but I only got like maybe 50% of it right

feral verge
#

It has the highest skill ceiling imo

olive ember
#

fun

halcyon root
#

Play zealot will make you better at the game overall imo

#

then you'll be a better psyker

robust relic
feral verge
#

Forces you to learn good positioning, game sense and to master melee combat

olive ember
#

lmao zealot does not make you better at game

halcyon root
#

I agree

spice veldt
olive ember
#

zealot is the "haha i have toughness regen for days and on demand" class

#

then again

#

so is vet

hollow current
#

I feel like pysker is the most versatile character.

olive ember
#

and ogryn is in its own category

#

so

feral verge
#

I play worse on zealot because it's piss easy

olive ember
#

just play psyker

spice veldt
#

well, same goes for psyker

feral verge
#

I don't have to try

olive ember
#

🤔

halcyon root
#

You dont play at diff5 if you think a zealot is easy

olive ember
#

well yes

feral verge
#

Zealot is brain off mode for me

olive ember
#

but you see

#

we played psyker when toughness regen wasn't piss easy

feral verge
halcyon root
#

same

olive ember
#

I play malice

#

very easy

feral verge
#

And zealot is dumb easy

olive ember
#

recon lasgun go brrr

spice veldt
#

psyker felt fine to me before the quelling buffs with respect to toughness regen

feral verge
#

Compared to what I'm used to as a psyker main

spice veldt
#

esp with the pre-buff trauma staff

olive ember
#

I was fine with it but eh

hollow current
#

tips for getting past sedition?

olive ember
#

easier for everyone so i won't complain

feral verge
#

I use thammer

olive ember
#

fucking thammer

halcyon root
#

Psyker is def harder no disagree there

feral verge
#

You're welcome

unreal tapir
#

also what does the psyker's arsenal look like? vet was pretty boring with 1 melee weapon choice and 2 viable guns

olive ember
#

simply pass the vibe check

olive ember
#

thats what I do when playing darktide

#

if I vibing good then games fine

naive junco
#

charged hammer should have much more aoe. 😦

olive ember
#

no joke tho

halcyon root
#

With this new force sowrd I dont have to worry about position anymore I just square up now its glorious

olive ember
#

I legit am spaced out half the time I play this game

#

like

olive ember
#

I quickplay into damnation

#

I don't realize its hi int or wte until like

#

halfway through the mission

feral verge
#

The force sword are nice

halcyon root
#

surge staff can carry pub noobs

spice veldt
#

well, it's only a noobtrap if you just spam the surge staff and don't swap to melee

#

otherwise the staff is fine

hollow current
#

Hi int seems to show itself when there's an ogryn around every corner.

snow coral
#

holy shit, the illi is so good, i love that it doesn't do the animation lock with the warp activated

olive ember
cyan notch
#

psyker can use whatever ranged you like now tbh

naive junco
#

when you see ppl spamming surge on trash horde.. thats the trap

unreal tapir
#

thats what i was wondering. are staves more of a support weapon that you continuously swap out with melee on psyker to keep effects like freeze up?

olive ember
#

nah I do that to assert dominance on the plebian who has to melee the horde for me

halcyon root
#

locking down a strike team for your braindead team mates makes the game a lot easier

snow coral
#

chad illi looking down on the virgin nerfed power sword

using the fucking antax

Purgatus is just Flamer's little brother, so it's quite good
Voidstrike is ranged hordeclear with some stagger

You can use a staff to stagger/stun ane enemy then BB him, or use melee special on him

alright, I keep seeing antax, what is that?

naive junco
#

psword still gets that nice blessing.

feral verge
#

All sorts of combos for differing situations

Mk 5 Antax Combat Axe

feral verge
#

Psyker is the most versatile class imo

Yeah I use the staff to stagger 4+ nerds then force sword assassinate the special in the group

spice veldt
halcyon root
#

its fantastic

molten sparrow
#

hey, is this sword worth investing in? What are the dump stats please for the force sword.

unreal tapir
#

my biggest concern with playing psyker was brainburst / warp charge mechanic, after seeing other people play psyker it looked kind of clunky

feral verge
#

Warp resistance is the dump stat

fierce sinew
#

just warp res

feral verge
#

I like high mobility

hollow current
naive junco
#

warp res only.. mobility is great.

feral verge
#

Even if the returns aren't that great

fierce sinew
#

high mobility is the way to go

#

comfy

olive ember
#

so when you see a sniper or gunners far AF away shooting at your team

#

BB

feral verge
olive ember
#

but don't use it like a primary source of dmg

spice veldt
olive ember
#

unless you are like

#

literally supressed

spice veldt
#

you really shouldn't be using BB all the time

olive ember
#

at whihc point its like

unreal tapir
#

so keeping warp charges is up is more of just a bonus rather than a necessity, just bb for killing weaker elites?

olive ember
#

eh i mean i've had games where the team just gets utterly supressed

naive junco
olive ember
#

at that point you kinda just BB

olive ember
#

unless you are specifically going for some breakpoints

spice veldt
molten sparrow
spice veldt
#

and most people just run them instead of having to BB a random ass enemy every 25 seconds

olive ember
#

@spice veldt @feral verge

#

what you think

unreal tapir
#

thats good. the whole bb mechanic is kind of what turned me away from psyker because its so clunky for the pace that darktide plays at

spice veldt
#

not t4 slaughterer and it's deflector; throw it away

#

yeah, our ranged and melee weapons are good enough to usually avoid using BB

#

unless you run purg which has range issues

olive ember
spice veldt
#

or just dodge-slide and abuse the infinite dodges of our force swords

fierce sinew
#

it's only clunky if your build is stupid tbh

spice veldt
#

infinite dodges means that there's no penalty for dodge-sliding anymore

fierce sinew
#

either you're getting charges from sources other than BB or you're using kinetic barrage to make BB not clunky

spice veldt
#

you can also run and slide with BB while casting

#

same with all staffs except voidstrike

olive ember
#

fucking hadron

naive junco
#

youre gonna end up replacing your obsc sword anyway..

halcyon root
#

IN TO THE TRASH IT GOES

olive ember
#

#

wooo

halcyon root
#

based crafting system strikes again

hollow current
#

This is what you get for trashing deimos

olive ember
#

and executor

#

fun

#

I mean

#

I got this so

#

i'm chilling

fierce sinew
#

olive ember
feral verge
spice veldt
#

prob farming blessings

olive ember
#

I also have this so yeah

#

im farming blessings at this point

#

prob should be goin for auto pistol pinning fire 4 tho

#

when my best auto pistol is on my psyker

hollow current
#

I just had pinning 4 pop up in melk on my zealot after two months of waiting.

olive ember
#

can you afford it kek

hollow current
#

Came up yesterday and already got it.

olive ember
#

nice nice

#

i got pinning fire 3 today on my zealot

#

fucking got rid of that pistol so quick

#

so i could slap pinning fire on my psyker kek

#

well also cuz that pistol was trash

#

but yeah both of my pistols got pinning fire now and its great

#

until they nerf pinning fire

hollow current
#

surprised they haven't yet. I was rocking it months ago on my vet and it was p fun.

olive ember
#

fuck I almost forgot to swap out the shitty deimos on my purge build

#

thank fuck for that

feral verge
#

You're unworthy of that drip

olive ember
#

I worked for it I'm fucking wearing it

#

still got this build too

feral verge
#

You can't wear it until you learn to love Deimos

hollow current
#

Alright. is it time to gamble at brunts for more Trauma staves or Deimos swords?

feral verge
hollow current

#

If I were forced to choose for whatever reason, I'd rather have an amazing melee over an amazing staff

olive ember
#

why can't they give us cool weapon pose while we are in screen

#

instead we just look basic
